Synopsis

Initially written for the tourist visiting Korea, "Practical Korean" actually lends itself very well to anyone interested in learning the basics of the language. Most of the lessons include exercises that reinforce vocabulary items and grammatical structures. Phrases and sentences are recycled for long-term learning. Over 200 simple illustrations allow even beginners to express themselves. This "quick" approach to spoken Korean by Samuel E. Martin, author of "Essential Japanese: An Introduction to the Standard Colloquial Language", and professor emeritus at Yale University, is the first really useful manual of the Korean language. These lessons have been devised to facilitate easy language study and are conversationally applicable as soon as you learn them. That you learn "Practical Korean" is the author's first intention. This book has been printed in a handy pocket-size format and, with Joan V. Underwood's "English-Korean Dictionary", is indispensable to getting along in Korea.
